目的：了解创建与癌症经历相关的数字故事对成年癌症患者（过去或现在）的意义和影响。参与者和环境：10名参与者在一名接受过数字叙事培训的研究助理的帮助下制作了数字故事。这项研究在加拿大阿尔伯塔省卡尔加里的一个大城市中心进行。方法论：这项研究是按照哲学解释学的传统进行的。进行了10次一对一访谈。数据分析采用解释性定性方法。研究发现：数字故事是一种宣泄；将患者与家人、朋友以及因癌症治疗而中断的部分生活重新联系起来；帮助参与者以一种通常被描述为治疗的方式进行反思；并与他人沟通他们的癌症经历。对护理的启示：数字故事可以用来强调癌症巨大的社会心理影响，并为医疗保健专业人员和其他研究人员指明创造性和非传统的方法来解决这一问题。
PURPOSE: To understand the meaning and impact for adult patients with cancer (past or present) of creating a digital story related to their cancer experience.PARTICIPANTS & SETTING: Ten participants made digital stories with the help of a research assistant trained in digital storytelling. This research took place in a large, urban center in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.METHODOLOGIC APPROACH: This research was done in the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics. Ten one-on-one interviews were conducted. and data were analyzed using an interpretive qualitative methodology.FINDINGS: Findings revealed that digital stories were cathartic; reconnected individuals with family, friends, and parts of their lives that had been interrupted from cancer therapy; helped participants reflect in a way that was often described as therapeutic; and bridged communication with others about their cancer experiences.IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Digital stories can be used to highlight the immense psychosocial impact of cancer and point healthcare professionals and other researchers toward creative and nontraditional ways to address this issue.
